I’m watching this not because I want to learn how to do massage, but I’m craving for a great massage. I feel like I’m wasting my money everytime I go for a massage. I hope I’ll find someone soon that can actually know how to do a real massage.
I always come back your videos , again and again. I used them while in school this past year and I am still using them as I prepare for job interviews. You are so skilled ! I hope to be as good as you are one day 🙌🏻
Thanks a lot for the explanation of the techniques. I will be studying massage therapy, so your videos where you mention the muscle names and massage techniques are a good!
Your videos are so calming to watch. I got taught to use my thumb on the scapula and put the arm over the back. It always bugged me, and seeing your method is sooo much better. Thank you.
Loved this video Spencer it was very helpful hearing you explain what you were doing and why plus the little tips in between. Keep up the amazing work you are doing.
God, I love your deep massage videos. We do it quite differently but I'm always trying to incorporate a bit of your style into mine. Your flow is much more gentle and broad.
Love your videos Spencer! Thank you so much, they are so insightful and you are so professional as well! They have helped me massage my wife whom always has a tight back. Many thanks.
I just got a deep tissue 10minuted massage at my mall lol n I loved it! She definitely found my knot, but I let her do what she needed to do n just relaxed. Ima go back in 2 days lol.. but anyways jus was googling n found these videos like my 5th one I've watched so far n I'm glad my massage lady did it right :)
I love your videos, so relaxing and informative! I hadn't had a deep tissue in a couple of months and after my last one my back pain was pretty bad, it had eased a lot before but for some reason, it really flared up. I'm not sure if it's because she worked muscles that haven't been massaged in a while and that's what has caused my pain to worsen or if she has done something that's irritated the nerves. At my next appointment I'll speak to her and say that deep tissue is a no go from now on because certain areas of my body can't take it anymore and she can do aromatherapy massages, reflexology, reiki, pedicures etc during our appointments. When she was working on my legs the last time, she always starts with my calf muscles, I felt sick when she was doing my left calf because it was so tight and both quads were pretty bad to. She eases off when I ask her but she'll say that she's not going that deep especially on my quads but it's really painful, followed by hips and glutes. I'm in for an hour and she does legs, back, glutes, hips, shoulders, she'll do deep tissue on the areas she feels needs it the most. Then finishes with my face and scalp which is heaven! Sometimes I can breathe through the discomfort until the muscle releases or she'll start and the muscle will release really quickly, which is the best because then she gets to do more relaxing work. She keeps me on my feet and for that I'm really grateful
Kirsty Macfarlane Hi Kristy I’m a licensed massage therapist in NC. Do you actually understand what deep tissue massage is? Or do you think deep tissue means pain? A lot of people are misinformed when it comes to deep tissue massage. There is a difference between deep pressure and deep tissue. Deep tissue does not always equate to deep pressure pain. Deep tissue is just that getting to the deeper tissue. You should never be above a 7 pain level on a scale of 0-10. If you are at an 8 based on your pain tolerance that therapist has gone too deep and potentially damaging muscle tissue. Quite honestly there are ways to get to deep tissues of the body without have to use deep pressure. I do it in my practice daily. Just from what I have read is you don’t need a deep tissue massage like so many of my clients think they do. She’s not doing all deep tissue on everybody part listed. Think of deep tissue as a focus area she can’t possibly as a therapist do a FB Deep Tissue in a hour it’s not possible. You don’t have any deep muscles on your scalp.I get so many unrealistic clients who think we are miracle workers who are there to fix them in one short session. We are there to facilitate healing by the manipulation of soft tissue structures. Don’t ask for all these areas to be worked on and complain that she isn’t spending enough time warming up. Don’t book a 60 min book a 90 min. Your expectations as a client are unrealistic. The calves, hams, glutes and hips are extremely complex muscle groups i could spend over an hour on each leg. You want an effective massage pick one area to focus on in 60 min. For 90 min you are looking at 3 max focus areas and a 120 min 5 areas. That’s just my advice at the end of the day each therapist is going to work on you the best way the can applying all the techniques they have learned to achieve a result. If you tell the therapist to go as deep as they can go then don’t complain when you are hurting. You are confusing deep pressure with deep tissue massage. I think you could benefit from Myofascial release and positional release. I’m also a reiki practitioner and if you were expecting that to make your muscle pain go away that is probably something that won’t happen with energy work. It can however reduce stress, induce relaxation, and improve sleep, but that’s about it. I would say a firm pressure relaxation massage would be beneficial and best for you. Like i said though you were wanting a deep pressure not a deep tissue massage.
@@Road2PBATour do you know anything about my conditions? You made assumptions and didn't read my comment properly or bother to ask questions. You went straight to thinking I knew nothing about massage therapy. I didn't say she did deep tissue on every area of my body, I specified the areas where I struggle with when she does go deeper. Reiki does help with pain because it lowers your level of stress and anxiety, anything that does that will ease pain. I've been going to my therapist for 7 years and she has worked wonders for my pain both physical and mental but due to what is wrong with me my muscles go into spasms. So I can go get my massage and everything is fine, she can go to town on my calfs, quads and hips or wherever needs it. I can go back a fortnight later and she can barely touch some areas of my body, specifically the ones I mentioned. I would benefit from myofascial release but nobody practices it close to me. I did research into it years ago and check regularly to see if there's practitioners in my area. I really don't appreciate your condescending tone, there was no need to address me as if I'm an imbecile who doesn't know what treatment is being done to my body. I do my research before getting treatments. I do know the difference between deep tissue and deep pressure because I educate myself and if there's something that can help me, I'll ask my therapist if she can do it or if she knows someone who can. I have an amazing relationship with her or I wouldn't still be going to her. Like I said you came to conclusions about a person you don't even know, didn't bother to ask what was wrong with me. Instead you assumed I was stupid because you're a massage therapist and you think you know it all. Did you not read the little bit above the comment section on how to address people?
Thx Spencer! As always great massage and an awesome way to explain your technique. You’re a great instructor! I’m in massage training paying a ton of money and have not getting much. I wish my instructor could explain and show things the way you do. I can say you’re and a couple more instructors from TH-cam have been my angels. Learned a lot from you! Have a great day! Great video Thanks for sharing your passion and vocation
Love your videos, Spencer. I have learned so much. I am looking for stretching massages. Do you have any of those? I have missed new vids. Guessing due to Covid. Hope you are doing well.
Would there be any advice you would give someone who has never had a massage. I’ve watched your videos for years and would love to go and get a massage but I just feel so self conscious about a stranger touching my body. I’m sure I can’t be the only one who’s missing out. Thanks in advance
Craig Foreman I was nervous for my first massage too but you deserve to put yourself first and do the things you want. No professional will ever judge you, the only worry is you might become addicted to massage. Go get one!
If I may suggest as someone who's on the same boat as you before, if you have a friend or know of a person who has experienced good, clean, & properly performed therapeutic massage before, ask for their trusted therapist(s) to handle you. Bless yourself with a great massage! Cheers!
Here’s some advice being a licensed therapist in NC. You should be able to go to any massage establishment and get a massage fully clothed. There is nothing to fear at anytime you feel uncomfortable you have the right to terminate the session however you would ultimately have to end up still paying, but there’s nothing to be scared of.
U dumb ass period! How else ?! U don’t know so don’t pretend u know! I teach u how else. U supposed to rub oil somehow between ur own hands before dump directly reckless to customer , u got it? Moron!

Me too
Probably my favorite massage vid ever
Good work, and your commentary is very clear and at times hilarious!

So Spencer, I started dropping my clients’ arm off the side and massaging their triceps/lats, etc. I am getting great feedback!
Loved this video Spencer it was very helpful hearing you explain what you were doing and why plus the little tips in between. Keep up the amazing work you are doing.
God, I love your deep massage videos.
We do it quite differently but I'm always trying to incorporate a bit of your style into mine.
Your flow is much more gentle and broad.
Imo its not so deep, I think primarily connecting tissues are focused, and then the muscles obviously but not dẻep tissues
Its the “saluting the lord of massage” for me🤣💀
Love your videos Spencer! Thank you so much, they are so insightful and you are so professional as well! They have helped me massage my wife whom always has a tight back. Many thanks.

I really wanted to see how you avoid using your fingers during a long massage! Thanks so much 🙏

Love the video! Can you make a video on massaging glutes/ hips and techniques for them?
Great techniques and follow through. Thanks

The68VeeDub do you have any videos for giving a fully clothed massage
How much do you charge per massage session? And how many minutes do you spend on every costumer?
We also provide massage starting at only 500 for 45 minutes
Is this Wellness Masage?
Saluting the Lord of Massage lol
Nice . Like it .
Fluidscape is like the trademark music for ASMRrequests (Ally). A little hint to Spencer's preferred artist perhaps?
Nice😊
Could you explain some techniques you do with the glutes? :)
Nigga.....
wtf
With all due respect, if someone requests a no talking video, have them turn their volume all the way down?
When will we see more content on the Muscles ASMR channel?
oconadamify Gr8 question
Thank you
Why are the sheets not tucked in?
More vids please. You're great
This is nice after 4 hrs of xbox
Anyone know what that intro song was?
It looks nice but I notice she breaths so fast, is it painful miss? ;(
good massage!!!.....but...Nooo..music.!!..🤪........🤭
Hi
Mucho aceite
𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜𝕦
Do you ever get nervous working on a client who is so petite?
Petite people usually want the deepest pressure in my experience
I WEAR GLOVES, DEPENDING IF THE SKIN IS HEALTHY LOOKING OR UNHEALTHY
👍
Hiiityler
heh heh heh
He keep putting oil directly on the skin.
lol how else is he supposed to apply it? You need lubricant to comfortably move across the skin
U dumb ass period! How else ?! U don’t know so don’t pretend u know! I teach u how else. U supposed to rub oil somehow between ur own hands before dump directly reckless to customer , u got it? Moron!
